SCUNTHORPE TELEGRAPH

IRON PRINCE SAVES XMAS

The Scunthorpe Xmas party nearly turned into a Xmas nightmare this week but thankfully new coach PMW saved the day.

PMW thought he’d treat the players and their WAG’s to a luxury trip to the South of France for their Xmas party and so booked an exclusive 5 star hotel and spa for 2 days.

All were set to leave on Friday morning when the Prince remembered he had told the local dog home that the players would come round and walk the dogs to generate some much needed publicity for the shelter ...............and the club.

“an opportunity that couldn't be missed………or cancelled”

claimed the prince later.

At first this didn't seem a problem as PMW and the ‘girls’ jetted off  to France in his private jet with the players set to follow later that day. However, things took a turn for the worse at the dog shelter when several Yorkshire terriers broke free………

“and a Chihuahua”

 Angel Di Maria

……and a Chihuahua,  and barred the players exit. The lads where trapped for several hours until staff managed to control the dogs and therefore missed their flight. shame.

Thankfully though PMW had a plan B should something go wrong….

“the boss  always has a plan B, real smart guy, Xmas would have been ruined without him”

Dries Mertens

….he had booked a local pub ‘The Blarney Stone’ in the city centre, JUST in case something happened!

“Luckily the girls got away OK”  said Mario Mandzukic

 “as the boss made the rare mistake of only booking the pub for 30 people! talk about a crystal ball!!”

Meanwhile in the South of France, PMW and the WAG’s enjoyed their time at the Hotel and Spa without the guys.

“The girls and I made the most of a bad situation and had a blast, they didn't leave me out of anything” claimed the prince

“they took me with them to the Spa and we all enjoyed a massage, the sauna, a mud bath and we even had a sleep over, BEST XMAS EVER!!!! Pity the lads missed it”
